On 30 October 2026, the European project IN4BLUE – Social Impact INcubators FOR strengthening the capacity of the Adriatic region to support the sustainable industrial transformation of the Blue Economy sector – took part as a collaborating partner in Game Changer Italy 2.0, an international event hosted at the H-FARM College Campus in Roncade (Treviso).
Game Changer served as an important international platform for dialogue on innovation, creativity and sustainable development, bringing together students, entrepreneurs, innovators, institutional representatives and stakeholders from various sectors.
As part of the event, IN4BLUE organised a dedicated panel discussion entitled “Sustainability Is the New Value: Europe Supports Business Solutions That Make a Difference”, focusing on the contribution that social impact incubators can make to the green and digital transition processes of the blue economy.
The session provided an opportunity to present the approach developed through the project and the sustainable business models devised as part of the Social Impact Incubator Programme, highlighting the role of innovation, co-creation and cross-border cooperation in supporting the competitiveness of SMEs operating in the coastal tourism and blue economy sectors.
During the debate, the project partners also shared insights and best practices on the contribution that public administrations can make to the growth of business incubators and the adoption of innovative, sustainability-focused solutions, by fostering collaboration between institutions, the business sector and the research community.
Participation in Game Changer Italy 2.0 provided an important opportunity to showcase and disseminate the results achieved by the IN4BLUE project to an international audience, strengthening the dialogue between public and private stakeholders committed to building more sustainable and resilient development models for the coastal regions of the Adriatic area.
